update

i can't write much but i wanted to let you all know riley has a horrible case of eczema. they didn't give us anything but told me to use aquaphor. i had been using johnson's baby lotion and that was drying his skin out even more. it seems to be improving now. thank you all so much for your prayers.

A Rough Couple of Days

Riley awoke this morning at 2:30 crying. This isn't normal for our boy who has been sleeping through the night since week 9. Over the last week he has developed blotches on his chest. In the one picture from my last post you can see them around his neck. I thought they were just from damp bibs left on him and I needed to do a better job of keeping him dry. But in all my attempts to do that the bloches have continues to consume his entire belly, up his neck and behind his ears. I am headed to the doctor in 30 minutes and praying they can help us out. He just looks miserable, but he truly hasn't been that fussy. If I had hot red blotches all over my belly, and neck I would certainly be making it known to everyone.

Pray the doctors will be able to help us and Riley can quickly be back on the road to recovery. And please pray for me. When stuff like this happens it is easy to believe the lie that I am a bad mom. I know that is not the truth but I am fighting it right now.

I'll keep you updated.

Lots of Pictures

Playing under his new toy. Despite the face he really does like it.


We try to give Riley tummy time and this is what he does...he pushes up with his belly and doesn't know to use his arms to push himself up.



All dressed up and nowhere to go.


He can't sit still, even for a second.



Riley likes not wearing clothes.



This is Riley's pooping face.

3 Months Old

I can't believe out little 4 pound 11 ounce boy is now three months old and 10 pounds 12 ounces. Praise the Lord with us for His faithfulness to us over these last three months. It hasn't been easy but we are enjoying every day. Below are some of my favorite pictures since my last post.
